I'd say it depends on the organization and what they want to do with their suppliers. For creating purchase orders and such the information in SupplierProduct is all that really matters, though it certainly implies a relationship. There are various more "formal" relationships that could be created between a company and its suppliers but I don't know that any functionality depends on such things at this point.
You'd probably want to keep track of all your suppliers, through the party application or its equivalent - linking then to things like what orders you have open with them, the money situation... stuff like that. I was just curious, though. I think the ideal thing would be to set up a group as a supplier in one place and also have products registered as being available from a supplier in the moment when you upload the data they give you about the products they have available.
